Add Items

Adding Items

Adding an item to the dictionary is done by using a new index key and assigning a value to it:

Example

thisdict =	{
  "brand": "Ford",
  "model": "Mustang",
  "year": 1964
}
thisdict["color"] = "red"
print(thisdict)

Update Dictionary

The update() method will update the dictionary with the items from a given argument. If the item does not exist, the item will be added.

The argument must be a dictionary, or an iterable object with key:value pairs.

Example

thisdict =	{
  "brand": "Ford",
  "model": "Mustang",
  "year": 1964
}
thisdict.update({"color":
"red"})
